What is the experience of a five-star hotel without heating on a day of 10 degrees to 8 degrees? It really happened to me, and it was a Sofitel. Anyway, I caught a cold directly on the second day after staying, and the windows were closed tightly. The equipment Everything else is nonsense. I complained to the front desk the next day. Anyway, the attitude was very sincere, but the problem had occurred and the facilities were very backward. The front desk service was very enthusiastic and communicated with me from the perspective of the guest. Anyway, it is a five-star hotel in Paris. It's really hard to describe

I chose to stay at Le Bristol because of its exquisite breakfast. Yes the room is always elegant and well appointed, but the breakfast is truly excellent. The freshly baked croissant is a real delight.

I recently stayed at Shangri-La Paris and had a mixed experience. I had specifically paid for a room with a view, but unfortunately, for the first two days, I didn’t get the room I had booked, which was disappointing—especially considering the high standards expected from a luxury hotel like this. However, after raising the issue, the hotel finally provided me with the correct room. The next two days were much better, and I must say the view was absolutely breathtaking—definitely worth the wait. The iconic sights of Paris from the room were truly unforgettable, making the experience feel special. Overall, while the initial inconvenience was frustrating, the hotel did make up for it in the end with the stunning view I had originally hoped for. I’d recommend double-checking your room upon arrival, but once everything is sorted, the experience can be magical.

Les Halles Paris|0.62km dari pusat bandar
We stayed at Novotel Paris Les Halles and overall had an okay experience. The room was clean and well maintained, which we appreciated. However, the hotel was undergoing renovation during our stay. While there was no noticeable noise, the scaffolding right outside our window meant we had to keep the curtains closed most of the time. As a result, the room lacked natural light, and the lighting indoors wasn’t quite sufficient — it made things like doing makeup a bit challenging. Rooms on the lower floors also don’t offer much of a view, which was a little disappointing. That said, the location is a major plus. There’s a mall and supermarket just behind the hotel, which is very convenient. Even better, there’s a metro entrance right at the doorstep, making it extremely easy to get around Paris. We didn’t try the breakfast, so can’t comment on that. Overall, a decent stay mainly for the convenience of the location, though the renovation and room conditions may affect the experience slightly.

Reception staff very welcoming and gave us an early check in! Hotel offers luggage storage, very convenient if unable to check in early or have any extra luggage. Room was clean and housekeeping came in daily, we enjoyed the funny touch added to the do not disturb booklet… Loved the quirky art decor in the hotel, comfortable bed and use of all their amenities! Complimentary mini fridge (for the first time). Opted for a quiet room (based off of reviews being noisy), could vaguely hear trains/metros but nothing major, but what to expect being so close to the train station. Ordered room service which was ready rapidly and very tasty, food was still piping hot once got to the room although you do need to collect the food from the restaurant. Breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold foods, you could also order fresh omelettes and plenty of drink choice too! Smooth check out. Thank you! 🤩 Location very accessible with short walk from train station and metro station right outside the hotel. Lots of bars and restaurants a short walk away as well as in the hotel.

The hotel features brand new facilities and stylish decor. Daily housekeeping is very prompt, and the front desk service is incredibly attentive, even offering a welcome drink. Located in the 9th district, it's not far from various attractions, and using Uber is very convenient. The only slight drawback is that the room is a bit small.

Excellent! The location is superb, right next to Gare de Lyon and Gare d'Austerlitz. We ended up staying here because our train was cancelled. The front desk was incredibly friendly; they saw I was a Marriott Bonvoy member with two kids and proactively upgraded our room from a single king bed to one with an additional sofa bed. The breakfast spread was quite generous, but we didn't get to eat it as we were rushing for our train (we hadn't booked breakfast initially). Early in the morning, the front desk lady even offered us complimentary coffee and pastries for the kids – so nice of her! The room was spacious enough, and the bedding and design were excellent. There was also a dedicated water dispenser. The drainage in the sink and bathtub was a bit slow, but when we told the front desk, they immediately sent someone to fix it. Overall, a very good experience! Satisfied! If I ever need a Marriott near a train station again, I'd definitely choose this one – very reliable! A taxi ride to central areas like Notre Dame and the Louvre takes about 20 minutes, but I recommend using Uber as it's about a third of the price of a regular taxi!

The Pullman Bercy is ideal if you want a relaxed, modern hotel in an extremely safe and accessible neighbourhood. Great for those who value comfort and luxury. + Location: From the hotel it's a few mins walk to the M14 line, a new and safe metro line that is connected tobAirport Orly and Gare du Lyon train station (RER A/B trains to Disneyland Paris and Charles de Gaulle Airport). M14 can also take you into central Paris to see the Louvre, Notre Dame and Palais Garnier within 30mins. + Cleanliness: The room, including water and towels, was refreshed daily. + Air Conditioning: The a/c worked well and kept the room at a comfortable temperature. - The TV did not have chromecast or similar wifi-streaming features available.

The Hotel is positioning as a 4 Star hotel. Unfortunately it needs a lot of renovation inside. As you can see at the pictures there is necessary to renovate the room doors and paint it again. Upon arriving at evening 20.10.24 I was told the hotel doesn’t see my reservation at all and they have no booked room for me. After 30 minutes negotiations, check the data, connection to provider I obtained the room only. As the receptionist told me there was a crackdown of the hotel booking system recently. Thank you for the reception officer to provide me 2 rooms apartment for the first night. The breakfasts were tasty with a good varieties of fresh fruits, quarks and good coffee. Location is perfect for the shoppers absolutely and it is not far away from the Metro stations.

The hotel location was fantastic, we didn’t have a view of the Eiffel Tower but did overlook the statue of liberty. Our party was mum & 2 adult daughters. The staff at reception were really friendly. Our trip was to celebrate a 21st birthday and a pre wedding trip for my daughters and the hotel had decorated the room as a surprise which was lovely. The double bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in at any hotel, but the sofa bed could definitely use some upgrading. We didn’t eat at the hotel but there were restaurant options available, and a nice self service room which sold essentials (bottled water, toothbrushes, sandwiches, even microwave meals and the microwave to heat them up in). Everywhere was immaculately clean. It was a 15-20 minute wander to the Eiffel Tower and at no point did we feel unsafe, even when walking back at 11.30pm. We all loved it and I definitely hope to go back again. We would recommend to anyone with realistic expectations.

1) The location is excellent, right next to the metro station in the city center, very close to the Opera House, and not far from Place de la Concorde. 2) It's convenient and safe. There's a Carrefour supermarket and a local organic supermarket nearby, with plenty of dining options. 3) The croissants at breakfast are incredibly large and fluffy – highly recommended! They're much better than many outside bakeries 😋! 4) The staff are willing to speak English and are helpful. They offer free luggage storage and will provide a hairdryer upon request.

The hotel's location is excellent. It's a short walk to both M6 and C metro lines, which take you directly to Versailles Palace and Notre Dame. Plus, the Eiffel Tower is right next to the hotel, so we got to see it every day coming in and out. We arrived around 10 AM, and after becoming members, they allowed us to check in early. The room size was decent, with enough space to fully open two suitcases. Housekeeping was good; the room was cleaned daily, and hygiene was well-maintained. However, the toiletries were quite disappointing and stingy. There were no slippers, and the shower gel and shampoo were a 3-in-1 product. The drinking cups and mouthwash cups were small disposable paper cups. While the mouthwash cups were replaced daily for a while, we stayed four nights, and by the last day, they were unusable and weren't replaced with new ones after being taken away. Tissues weren't replenished daily either; we had one box for the entire stay, which ran out on the last night. These small details were quite frustrating. Also, they don't provide complimentary bottled water in the room, but there's a free water dispenser in the lobby where you can refill as many times as you like. These are things future guests should be aware of before booking.
